The Genealogy of the Braley Family. 



The Braleys descended from four brothers, Huguenots, 
who came to this country about 1680. and settled in what 
is now the city of New Bedford. One of the brothers re- 
moved to Vermont and one to Rhode Island, from which 
descended this branch of the Braley family, of which we 
have any record. 

Roger Bralicy, the father of Ezekiel, was born in 
Rhode Island, but what town is not known. He dissap- 
peared very sudden leaving a wife and two children. Ruth 
Cole, his wife, died in Belliugham, Mass., about 1840. 
The children of Roger and Ruth Braley were Ezekiel and 
Chloe. Chloe married Farrington of Franklin, Mass.

"ifHE GSNaAI,OGY OF fHK bSai<KY FAMILY 19 

In conclusion I wish to thank all friends that have 
kindly helped me in this Family Record. I think it is 
well to give a short account of those that took part in the 
Civil War. 

1st. Richard Rowett, Brigadier General, enlisted at 
the first call for troops in 1861 and served until the close 
of the war. He was elected Captain of Co. K, 7th 111. 
He was in the great battles of the army to Tennesse, 
besides many minor engagements and was severely wound- 
ed at Altoona, Ga. He was in command of the Fort. 
General Corse had retired early in the engagement. It was 
at this battle General Sherman gave his celebrated message, 
"Hold the Fort, for I am Coming." General Rowett was 
promoted to Brigadier General. 

2nd. George R. Braley at the commencement of the 
war was living at Commerce, Mo., and was taken prisoner 
after burning his mill, by General Thompson, who tried 
to make him enlist in the Rebel army, but failed, kept 
him prisoner three weeks and sent him home, with this 
declaration "That he would rather fight him than feed 
him." He went to Cairo, 111., and went on a government 
boat as engineer, but never enlisted. 

3rd. Stephen B. Cole enlisted in Co. A, 122nd. 111., 
three years. 

4th. Charles E. White, private in 22nd. 111. infantry, 
three years. 

5th. Ellison L,. Braley enlisted in Co., 6th., unattached 
Mass. Vol., three months. 

6th. Frank G. Braley, Co., 6th., unattached Mass. 
Vol., enlisted second time in Co. E, 4th. Heavy Artillery, 
one year. 

7th, James Beattie, bandmaster, 45tli. Regiment, 
Iowa, three months. 



20 THK GKNKAI,OGV OF THE BRALEY FAMILV 

I have been very much interested in trying to get what 
information I could of the Braley Family. I should like 
to keep up the correspondence with all. If we never have 
a family reunion in this age, may we all be ready for a 
reunion on the new earth, is the prayer of 

Your oldest Cousin, 

KI.LISON h- BRAI.EY.
